This was actually the most accurate representation of him in the movies. And he's nowhere as close as Deadpool when it comes to breaking the fourth wall. The only time I remember him doing it in the comics is when he mentioned Batman, but that's because he actually is a fan of the character and reads the comics. He's also done it when mentioning other Spider-Verse characters and during Secret Wars, but those were mostly characters he's met before.

@ClariceOwen23 He makes wisecracks about the absurdity of the situations he faces. That indicates a self-awareness beyond just being a joker, he seems to know.

Tobey Magquire played a better Spider-Man. The 1960s and 1990s animated series had a better Spider-Man. Spider-Man is meant to be a kid who's been pushed around all his life for being a brainer, and suddenly finds himself with super strength and agility. Nobody can touch him now, and all those years of pent-up jerkiness come flooding out. You saw just how extreme it got in Spider-Man 3 with the symbiote influencing him!

Yeah but he's really good at hiding it. It's hard to find an actor who can play him because it's like playing 2 different characters. He acts very different when he's wearing the mask vs when he's without it. Tobey did play a really good Peter Parker but I think he was meh as Spider-Man.

As for this movie, he was only really there for one fight scene so we didn't see much of Peter. Also add the fact that they skipped his backstory this time. Taking all that into account, I think he was pretty good.
